I get fouled a fair bit and I win free kicks and things, I am the 2nd choice taker when I play though. which is awesome. hit the crossbar in the league in the last couple of minutes which was gutting. got MOTM though.

If the training could get integrated in BAL mode more that would be an improvement, remember in the old days when you had proper training modes with different scenarios (e.g pro 6 etc), you could focus on different skills and improve your player in whichever way you wanted. Also i've been playing using the player camera mode for awhile now which gives the game a whole new feel, even in normal games (as long as you get the behind the ball when defending) it feels way more immersive, maybe they could focus more on that, it would be great if there was a proper first/3rd person perspective footy game.

Finished first season, we just statyed up, trying to get a move to Nowrich but fell through, still not being played, don't think the manager like me, even though I have adapted to playing out wide, not greedy and getting assist and goals in test matches. NEED TO MOVE!!

2 games left of my first season with Norwich! Scored a good few goals, and I'm the second highest English scorer in the league, behind Rooney ofc. 5th overall with 13 goals, still no international call up though! We're lingering mid table, and we were knocked out of the cup early on, still a good season for me as a player!

Trying to engineer a move abroad, to a better team, got Santos and Montpellier (sp?) interested, so hopefully I can impress in the last 2 games!

Might upload a video update, nothing special just a video of my best goals and moments from the season, and my stats. Probably do it at the end of each season, what do you think? no time for a proper SOMS.

-------------------There is no tomorrow, only today, and whatever happens is just a memory of yesterday.

First post on PES 2013. I am interested to know how everybody set up their leagues with there being a PES League and WE League on the new BAL. I set the PES League as the Bundesliga which is usually most users preference but I then changed the WE League to the npower championship. That way I can play for lower teams and aim to compete in the copa liberatores. Let me know how you guys set it up as I could get some good ideas. Anyway I started off playing the npower championship for Leeds United. Age 17, rating 64, difficulty Top Player. Knocked out a couple of friendlies last night (lost all three 2-0) and am looking forward to playing tonight. Give me your thoughts with the league setup!

guys, you have until tomorrow morning to decide my players future on the SOMS (link in my sig). this is the most important interaction yet as there are TWO impactful choices to make. hope you can comment and help forge Parmar's career.

I've just realised... There hasn't been a penalty in any of the matches I've played. just like BAL 09

I've had one penalty, which I was given the responisibility of taking for FC Groningen. I scored it.

We had about six last season, I got to take one....... and missed it

Literally the next game after I posted, my player won a penalty. I was due to take it, got subbed. The replacement taker missed. I was also on free kicks for over half my games last season, took one. The only fouls for my team are always out wide, although the opposition are still getting loads outside the area. Thankfully they don't all go in.

Tried to get Alkemade a move away from Trunecan, the best option was last year's runners up Theeselvargen, but that somehow fell through despite watching Alkemade score 4 and create two goals in two games. Trunecan offered a 1 year extension, which I accepted. Still plan to move on in January 2014, unless Trunecan are still winning.

Started up my new BAL after finishing my first season with my striker. After a bit of work I finally got a player I was happy with, with 8 form but the downside was my injuries is 3. Making my first PES SOMS (done a few on the FM forums before) so check it out! My guy's rated a 63.

my SOMS guy started as 63, finished season 1 as 67 and now I'm 69 and have a great set of stats.

Finished my whole season in Athletico Madrid, now playing the second one. Even the second and a half one. As for now (learned the RMF position, so i can play right def and mid) scored 17 goals and 14 assists in 65 appearances for the club. Most of them where doubles in Copa Del Ray matches or UEFA CL with Celtic, Transbarspor and so on.

The club is really defensive. The skills of the players are fantastic, however we play only counters. Kind'a don't like it ):Cause for me it;s really hard to play in attack, I need to clear the defensive line.Last season had 3rd place in BBVA, and lost Europe League finals. To Everton 1-2. Now playing in the CL with Man.City, Galatassaray, Celtics in our group. Currently 2.
